Have sufficient portable fuel containers on hand to collect the fuel that will be drained from the components
of the system during disassembly.
Transfer as much of the stored fuel as possible to fuel transporters for shipment to the new site.
Manually drain fuel remaining in the 10,000 gallon tanks (1) into the suction hose assemblies and close
valves (2) at each tank to prevent fuel from flowing back. Disconnect the tanks from the system, and
manually drain residual fuel into proper containers.
With the dispensing pump (3) running for suction pressure, manually drain fuel remaining in the hose
assemblies into the dispensing side of the fuel system.
Lift hose assemblies over the shoulder to create a siphoning action and walk the hoseline toward the pump
(3), closing valve assemblies (4) as you go to prevent back flow.
Stop and disconnect the dispensing pump (3) and drain fuel from the remaining hose assemblies into
suitable containers using the method described in step e, above.
Disconnect remaining components. Install all dust caps and plugs on the hose assemblies and fittings as
they are dismantled.
Store hose assemblies and fittings in their original shipping boxes or other suitable containers for
transportation.

2-8. Operation in Extreme Cold. The fuel system will operate in extreme cold weather. Use proper
precautions when handling fuel. Protect hose connections and nozzles from ice and snow. Inspect sight gage
and differential pressure gage on filter/separator more often. The low temperature operational limit is
-25°F(-32°C).
2-9. Operation in Extreme Heat. The fuel system will operate in extreme heat when ordinary precautions
are taken. The high temperature limit is 125°F (52°C).
CAUTION
A hose full of fuel and closed at both ends must not be exposed to the sun for extended
periods. Expansion of the fuel will damage the hose. Open vent valve on fuel separator
when not in use.
